Stormblood Hairstyles

[Zojha]

They may have been created for female characters, but they're definitely unisex hairs;

If you want to believe that, your call. It doesn't change my point: Even if they were doing gender specific hair (again), those cuts fall in the gender specific female category, as is evidenced by being designed for purely female characters. So you'd get those kinds of styles anyway, regardless of your ideas of feminity and masculinity.
The cuts you'll be missing are the ones in the male category. And considering how much more effort it takes to create a new style as opposed to adjusting an existing one, you'd likely not even be getting more styles in return.

As such, I find it a bit ridiculous to bash "unisex" hair design. We don't have any hair specifically designed for unisex. So all you achieve by asking for gender specific hair is to lose access to the ones designed for males, regardless of how feminine or masculine you think they are (And the same goes the other way).

And thus, I'd ask people to just ask for the kinds of hairs they want to see and leave gender out of it.

Gonna try this again now that I've hopefully stopped being a dimwit (though I get I'm making a losing argument here):

The way that this stuff works, despite the fact that it's slowly changing, is that there's unisex stuff (in this context, short haircuts that "fit" men and women) and feminine stuff. Your example about two runners-up being added is a perfect indication of this: Do you see any female runners-up added to the game? No, because most of them are distinctly feminine and "can't" be unisex, so they add hairstyles that can be - various short pixie cuts and bobs that aren't "feminine" and therefore are unisex. Obviously the devs adhere to this, as we don't have a bridesmaid dress for males yet we have a tuxedo for females.

All I'm saying is that I want more hair that fits into the "feminine" style (long hair, curls, braids, buns, blah blah blah), whether it's for both genders or not, instead of the purely unisex (as per societal standard) hairstyles we've gotten almost exclusively for the past couple years, besides the Queen, Rem, Deuce, and bun hairstyles.

Obviously I shouldn't have used "unisex" in the first place and just "short hair" (or just left it at the first comment I made...) but it's too late to do anything about that now, so there's the stupid line of thought that resulted in my asinine comment.
